WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 its a joke that man At Sheff Utd we were late getting there, got in just as the game kicked off, went to find our seats, but 'cos everyone was standing, there wasn't enough room. Still, we stayed there but some woman complained she couldn't see, so we wriggled back out and stood on the steps. Got all kinds of shit from the steward, were moved around half a dozen times but we didn't care. Mid-way through the second half my mate clocked her SITTING DOWN while everyone else was standing, not even that arsed about the game. Some people just moan for the hell of it. On the flipside, at the Swansea game I think everyone in the Leazes middle stood when we had those few corners in stoppage time, and stayed standing, no-one twisted on then.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Thses sitting mutes are the type who go home and say, ' the atmosphere was s*** today' used to be loads where I used to have me ST in the Milburn paddock. Having said that, the Milburn's fucking full of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I'm not allowed to stand up when we score either. Miserable bastards behind me tuck themselves into their seats at about 2:35, and stay snug and comfy till the end of the game, without moving a muscle. Frustrating. What?! Where the fuck is this? Just so I never sit there. Lower tier of the Gallowgate; to the left hand side of the goal if you're looking straight at it. I sit infront of the 'adidas' banner (typething), infact. But aye; two miserable old goats behind who just can't be arsed to move. Fortunately the lass next to me is about 4'11 so she doesn't wind them up as much.

joeyt Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 enjoyed the game but this woman behind me told me off for standing up for about 4 seconds. i was sat down pretty much 99% of the game, but one moment 50 odd mins in when Harewood was making a decent run toward Watford's 18 yard box, i stood up out of nothing more than instinct and excitement. She literally pushed me on the back and told me not to stand up if the guy in front of me wasn't. f'ing ridiculous. I wouldn't expect to be stood up the whole game, but for 4 seconds? It dissapoints me how the atmosphere can sometimes be better in a pub than at the ground... To be fair, you shouldn't really get excited when Harewood does a decent run, you know what the likely outcome is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Like fk would I not stand, we have people in wheelchairs behind us, if they ask nice fair enough but when they just shout and ball they just get a look and told to fk off, I will then sit but on top of the seat, as in do not flip the arse bit down just leave it up and sit on it, will ache after a while but fk tnem am sitting.

Yorkie Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Mind, saying that, i sit behind some chaps in wheelchairs and whatnot. One of the wheelchair-bound blokes just got up and trotted over to the barriers infront of him to get a better look at a corner at the far end. Turned around when it was wasted, hands in pockets, shook his head then sat down again. Was funny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best one I seen was a one legged dude on one of those mobility scooters, pissed up twat he is, lept up off the scooter hopped to the barrier and screamed and balled then hopped back. We were creased, he was drubk drove out beeping the horn swearing at everyone. There used to be a bloke who brought some lad that was so badly disabled he had no interest in the game, no idea where he was probably but he was his carer and used him for cheap tickets, he used go on like a right cunt all the time, if anyone stood up he would go nutts, even if the ball was out of play..

Fenham Mag Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 A few games ago i saw a guy who sat right in the middle of the Leazes Corner with his wife/girlfriend, where everybody stands but despite this he tried to get the front 5 rows in front of him to sit down. He wasn't too successful mind and didn't show for the 2nd half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The_Scoreboard Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I went to see watford at vicarage road against us and the mackems in '92. they were shit then but they beat the smb's 1-0 iirc and drew against us ( i was late getting in and walked in to see them score ) - well done as has been said before, if opposing players were better at finishing than us they might have won a few times but they aren't. I've recently started sitting in Row F in leazes corner, no one stood in front of me or my son because of concrete wall and we stand for the full 90 mins and no-one behind complains because they are standing too whats the regulations nowadays, werent man u gonna get penalised for their fans standing during the game couple of seasons back???

Heron Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 It's against ground regulations to stand for any prolonged period of time whilst the ball is in play. Stewards have to be seen to be trying to get people to sit so often they do particularly when in the Premier League due to the publicity. They kept trying last year but failed miserably and now we're in The Championship they don't seem arsed. Standing and singing at football matches to me is the norm, and I cannot understand why anyone would logically want to remove this aspect from the footballing experience.

Yorkie Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 The only good thing about the East Stand is the awesome TV view. Whenever i've gone up for a cup game, i've gone there cos the atmosphere's bound to be fairly dead anyway and the tickets are cheaper. Plus you get to look at the Milburn stand in all it's glory which never really gets boring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I havent sat in the east stand since that FA Cup tie we lost 3-0 to Charlton 20 years ago or so. Great view of the Gallowgate crossbar being knackered by fans at the end though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
